A Young Practitioner's Miraculous Cultivation Stories
As told by practitioner Rongrong, and recorded by practitioner "Falizi."
(Clearwisdom.net) [Editor's note: What Rongrong saw are only manifestations of the Fa
at a certain level. They should serve as a reference rather than as guidance.] 1. Teacher Li Opened My Celestial Eye One day when I was eight years old, my neighbor invited me over to watch
Teacher Li's Fa-lectures together with her. While watching the videotapes, I
suddenly saw that the suit Teacher Li was wearing had changed to a golden kasaya
[a Buddhist monastic robe]. Very curious, I asked my neighbor,
"Why did Teacher Li change his clothes? He was wearing a blue suit just
now, but he changed it to a golden kasaya!" My neighbor answered, "Really?" She hurriedly brought me a copy of Zhuan
Falun and asked me to see whether the Falun emblem was rotating. [Falun
means "Law Wheel"] I saw the Falun emblem rotating very
fast! My neighbor was very glad and said, "Teacher Li has opened your
Celestial Eye." [Celestial Eye is also known as the third eye.] From
then on, whenever I watched Teacher's Fa-lectures, I would see lots of Buddhas
that looked identical to Teacher, surrounding Him, sitting in ever widening,
concentric circles. Another practitioner told me that those Buddhas were Teacher
Li's Fashen. [Fashen means "Law Body"; an identical body or bodies
made of gong and Fa]. Since then, my neighbor has often taken me to the group practice site to
practice the Falun Dafa exercises. On our first trip to the practice site
together, I looked up at the sky and saw countless Fashen of the Teacher all
over the sky. Some were large, and some small. Above the practice site, which
was large enough to hold over ten thousand people, was a field of red radiance.
A large cylindrical hood with a very powerful energy field covered the entire
practice site. Covering the cylinder like a lid was a very large Falun. Teacher
Li sat on the Falun and watched us practicing. I also saw that above and to the
right of each practitioner's head there was one of Teacher's Fashen clothed in a
kasaya and sitting on a lotus flower. Another of Teacher's Fashen, one that
appeared to be made of golden tipped crystal, stood behind each one of us. Ordinarily, whenever I would read Falun Dafa books, I could see each word in
the book turn into the image of Teacher's Fashen and the image of a Falun. The
image of Teacher's large Fashen sat on a pink lotus flower at each page. The
lotus flower looked very fresh, as if it had just burst into bloom. It was very
beautiful. It was magnificent that I could clearly see the face of Teacher's
Fashen even though the font size of the words was very small. Once, while I was studying the Fa, I saw a Falun in the book start spinning,
and I wondered, "What does it look like inside a Falun?" With such a
thought, I suddenly felt as though I was already transported to within a
boundless world. Within that world, there were Falun everywhere, no matter
whether I was at the center or in a corner of that world. These Falun were
separated from each other by only a very short distance, and inside each of the
Falun there was an even larger Falun World. Inside each of the Falun in that
larger world there was another, even larger Falun World. This went on and on,
endlessly. Being inside Teacher's Fashen was similar to being inside of a Falun,
in that Teacher's countless Fashen were lined up everywhere. 2. We practice Falun Dafa exercises together in other dimensions When I used to practice the exercises alone, I always thought that my own
energy was not very strong and I also felt lonely. But now, I would never think
that. One day, while practicing "Buddha Showing a Thousand Hands," I went into a very cool world, in which everything was perfect and
crystalline. Even the air was cool. Taking a breath, I felt myself become
clear-headed and energetic. It seemed as though there was no separation between
my body and that world, as if I had melted into that world. There, I saw more
than ten fellow practitioners practicing the exercises with me. While practicing the second exercise, on the day before yesterday, I saw
myself practicing in a different dimension that had a dark, night-like sky. When
I practiced the exercise of "Holding the Wheel in front of the Head,"
the Falun that I was holding rotated vertically for awhile, then toward the side
for awhile, then toward the sky for awhile. It rotated successively toward each
of the ten directions. The following day, while practicing the second exercise,
I saw myself practicing in a dimension with the colors of bright red and reddish
orange that looked like fire. However, it was absolutely not the same fire as
from the world of ordinary people. Although it was not really fire, I felt heat
rising from it, and it made me feel warm all over my body. While practicing the third exercise, I saw there were many silver-white
columns around me that were all as tall as the sky. When I was practicing the fourth exercise, "Falun Heavenly
Circulation," I saw myself practicing in a world composed of countless
lotus flower petals. Those petals were so intriguingly arranged that, at first
glance, they seemed to be in disarray. Yet actually, they were arranged in a
very neat order and looked very pretty. The petals were a very bright pink and
white. They shined an extremely fine radiance from within the petals, the beauty
of which was too wonderful to describe in words. The air in that world smelled
like very relaxing lotus flower fragrance. It was an unimaginably beautiful
world. If I had not seen it myself, I would say that it felt like an illusion.
Yet, it seems I am a part of that world. I did not used to practice the fifth exercise quite so often, so my level in
other dimensions differed very much from those of my fellow practitioners, even
though we practiced the exercise together. I couldn't help admiring my fellow
practitioners whenever I saw their true images in other dimensions. Their
dignity made me not dare to look directly at them. Regardless, I saw that the progress we had made in practicing Falun Dafa was
huge and that it had occurred very rapidly. We might practice in one dimension
one day, and then reach a much higher dimension the next day. Sometimes,
whenever we would become enlightened to something while practicing the
exercises, we would immediately move up to a higher realm. 3. Even the sentient beings in other dimensions envy us very much One day, when I was writing down my cultivation experiences, I suddenly found
that I had gone up into another dimension. A large, enlightened being appeared
in front of me. I became very nervous and hurriedly backed down to keep a
distance from him. When I calmed down, I saw myself to the right of and below
the enlightened being, who graciously sat on a golden lotus flower that shined
with an extremely fine radiance. Behind the enlightened being, there was
something like the back of a chair that was connected to the lotus flower, and
it looked very delicate. There was a vertical line of silver-white words in the
middle of that object, but I didn't understand the words. On its back, there was
a large chunk of an oval-shaped, golden energy ball right in the middle. The
energy ball had an extremely high density, and it emanated the same golden color
of radiance to all the directions. The radiance formed the shape of a belt and
floated far, far away. I wanted to get a good look at the large enlightened being, so I carefully
moved to the front of him. Ah! Wasn't that Teacher? I saw Teacher sitting there
with his eyes closed, wearing a serene expression. His hair was bright blue and
curled layer by layer. I was happily surprised when I saw Teacher. It relaxed me
somewhat and I began to look around. Wow! I was shocked again, to see that there
were so many heavenly sentient beings around. In the foggy environment, they
sometimes appeared and other times disappeared. They all sat in the meditation
position with their eyes closed, holding their palms erect and reciting
something. Maybe they were sending forth righteous thoughts to eliminate the
evil. I walked up to them and was dazzled by the very powerful energy that
dashed toward me. Suddenly, I felt they were speaking to me, saying, "We so
much envy you Falun Dafa practitioners in the world of ordinary people because
of such a rare opportunity that you have been given. However, we feel pity for
those practitioners who are not striving forward diligently." It seemed that Teacher and all those sentient beings were right in front of
me, but I knew in my heart that there were countless dimensions between Teacher
and myself, and also between those sentient beings and Teacher. The dimension
where Teacher stayed had a very high "intensity" (I can't find a more
appropriate word to express this). My being couldn't bear such high intensity,
and I knew that my life would disintegrate if I were to enter that dimension.
How benevolent Teacher is! Teacher had put a round cover on me so that I would
be able to directly face him and clearly see him. 4. The gong of those practitioners who stepped forward to rectify the Fa
increased so rapidly! On July 20, 1999, the persecution was initiated against Falun Dafa, and
fellow practitioners began to step forward to safeguard and rectify the Fa. Some
of them went to Beijing to appeal to the higher authorities, while others
clarified the truth to ordinary people. Some of them secretly held
experience-sharing conferences, while others were arrested and beaten. They were
sent to prisons or forced labor camps, where they were wronged and mistreated. I
found that the gong [cultivation energy] of all those practitioners who
stepped forward to validate the Fa had increased very rapidly. I saw their gong
columns increasing at such a very high rate, that they transcended multiple
galaxies in mere seconds. The speed of their progress was several times that of
when they had previously been practicing at home. I saw Teacher pay special
attention to those practitioners who were arrested or imprisoned. When I visited
those fellow practitioners in the meeting rooms of prisons, I saw Teacher's
Fashen sitting to the right and above, or to the left and above the
practitioners' heads. If they were determined or maintained righteous thoughts
or spoke to me with resolute belief, Teacher would be moved, even to the point
of tears. If they had many attachments and said things that a practitioner
shouldn't say, Teacher would shake his head and sigh. Some practitioners'
attachments were too strong, and they became "enlightened" along an
evil path. When they said something that a practitioner shouldn't say or did
something that a practitioner shouldn't do, Teacher would look very sad, shake
His head and leave. Teacher would leave the practitioner if he or she completely
failed a test, but would then return when the practitioner was passing another
test. Teacher would no longer look after a person any more after they had become
too deeply "enlightened" along an evil path or had stopped practicing
Falun Dafa. Once, a fellow practitioner and I visited a third practitioner who was
imprisoned in a forced labor camp. When we met, I could see that the
practitioner was very resolute. After the meeting, as that practitioner was
being taken back to his cell, I saw a golden fruit-like thing drop from above
the meeting room door and enter the practitioner's head at the moment the door
was shut. 5. It is so important to study the Fa! In almost every Fa-lecture, Teacher has told us to study the Fa, study the Fa
and study the Fa. So it must be very important to study the Fa. Through studying
the Fa, we came to understand the principles of various high levels and there
would also be manifestations of gong. I'll say it's so very important to study
the Fa! I saw that when we opened Zhuan Falun, and many swastikas floated
out of the page that we had opened. [The swastika is also known by the
Sanskrit word, "srivatsa," which means "wheel of light." The
swastika has represented the Sun, connoted good fortune and been held in
positive regard by many different cultures for centuries.] The swastikas
entered our bodies through the tops of our heads, after which they would slowly
rotate toward different directions. The colors of the swastikas were determined
by the practitioners' levels. The higher the level, the finer and softer were
the colors of the swastikas. It made people very comfortable when seeing them.
The colors were not so pretty for the practitioners whose levels were not so
high, however. I saw that when a practitioner's body in another dimension
reached a certain level, there would appear a shining spot located in their
chest, about one inch above the heart and close to the back. All the swastikas
that entered the body when we studied the Fa would gather around that shining
spot, the size of which grew larger and larger as its color grew brighter and
brighter. Its density became higher and higher, until it finally turned into an
oval-shaped energy ball. Since I don't know how to accurately describe it, so
I'll just call it an energy ball. I saw that almost all of my fellow
practitioners now had such an energy ball. Some were the size of a chicken egg,
others were the size of a duck egg and some were as large as a goose egg. The
size of the energy ball was determined by the quantity and quality of the
practitioner's Fa-study. The color of the energy ball was bright yellow. It was
shiny and crystalline. The radiance emanating from it was too beautiful to
describe in words. This energy ball is priceless to practitioners. I saw that when we studied the Fa, the color of the swastikas that entered
our bodies would be gray-colored and impure if we were not focused on the Fa, or
if we thought of other things while keeping our eyes on the book. All those gray
swastikas also entered into the energy ball. Gradually, some black substance
would appear like sediments at the bottom of the energy ball. I don't know how
to get rid of the black substance, but I guess that after the energy ball grows
to its full size, we might be able to get rid of the black substance through
studying the Fa. 6. Sending forth righteous thoughts is extremely powerful Teacher said, "All matter, including the human body, exists
simultaneously in connection with dimensional levels of the cosmic space."
[Zhuan Falun, Lecture Two, "The Issue of the Celestial Eye"]
Previously, I had not had a good understanding of this. Once, however, when
sitting in meditation, I took a look at myself with my Celestial Eye and saw
that my body in this dimension was composed of countless miniature selves that
looked identical to me. I chose one "little self" and entered into it,
finding that it was composed of countless miniature "little selves."
Entering into one of these, I found that it was composed of countless even
smaller "miniature, little selves." This went on and on, endlessly.
All these "little selves," "miniature, little selves," and
"even smaller, miniature, little selves," together comprised my body
in this dimension. Although they were all connected to my body in this
dimension, they all existed independently, as well. They connected with
microscopic dimensions, respectively composed of atoms, neutrons, neutrinos and
other particles in the universe. Once, when I was sending forth the righteous thoughts, I saw all those
different levels of myself sending forth righteous thoughts in unison with me.
My "little selves" were all lined up in endless rows, from small to
large. They were of different ages, with the youngest ones looking just like I
did at seven years old. Some of them assumed my current appearance, and others
were even a little bit older than I am now. They each wore a gold band on their
head. In the middle of the band, where the Celestial Eye was located, there was
an oval-shaped object that looked like an embedded, precious stone. The color,
the energy strength and the fineness among the precious stones ranged from weak
to strong. The dimensions where the different levels of my being resided ranged
from shallow to deep and from the microscopic to the macroscopic. They all
followed me whenever I was sending forth righteous thoughts in this physical
dimension and reciting the verse, "The Fa rectifies the cosmos; the evil is
completely eliminated." Their voices were clear, melodious and laden with
powerful energy. The reason that it is so powerful to send forth the righteous
thoughts is because while I am doing it in this molecular dimension, they are
simultaneously doing it in dimensions that are correspondingly composed of
atoms, neutrons, neutrinos and smaller particles. Together we are eliminating
the evil forces in the Three Realms and in other dimensions. I saw my Primordial
Spirit controlling all of them. If I wasn't focused and happened to misread a
sentence, they would follow my mistake; so we should pay attention to this
issue. When sending forth the righteous thoughts, our Primordial Spirit must be
clear-headed and focused. (To be continued)
